Dont have a link, but just received the mag in the mail.
Said the mustang was more fun to drive but the 1lE had grip for days, both on the skid pad and on the track.
I'd say 2.5 secs is a lifetime on a race track.

Yeah, I'm with you to! I can't understand how blowing into a corner fast than a more expensive car is gonna ever get old... does anyone remember the 1LE beat a Audi R8 V10 around VIR? If I wanted a car who's rearend kicks out way to much I would have bought a mustang or a drift car... I'm in the 20th century soooo IRS it is.

Are those published lap times the Mustangs fastest vs. the Camaro's fastest, or an average over many back-to-back laps? Reason I ask is the Mustang is not at all a slow car (MT showed it can run even with an M3), so given its weight advantage, 2.5 seconds in a straight-up hotlap on a 95 second track seems too good to be true. However, it is fairly well known that Mustangs don't have the brake hardware necessary for extended track use, so if they averaged the times over an extended run, it wouldn't be surprising the Boss would have been dead in the water.
